The Jammu and Kashmir Home Department has announced a referral of 752 vacancies of Sub-Inspectors in the Jammu & Kashmir Police to the J&K Services Selection Board for direct recruitment. This announcement comes after the amendment of the Jammu and Kashmir Police Rules in 2021 and the notification of the J&K Ex-Servicemen (Re-employment in Public Services and Posts) Rules.
